It looks like Fortnite cold be bringing back a Halloween-themed event to Fortnite in October.

Timed, seasonal events are all the rage in games at the moment - we often see them in titles like Destiny, Monster Hunter, Call of Duty, Gears of War and many more besides - and Epic looks set to get in on the fun this Halloween.

During an interview in a recent livestream, prominent Fortnite streamer Ninja disclosed something is in the works for the spooky season.

"They gave me some interesting little hints and stuff," he replied when asked a question about what Epic is working on for Halloween "They showed me some cool up-and-coming things...

This suggests that Epic could be planning to bring some spooky treats into the game to celebrate everyone's favourite October holiday.

Knowing Epic, we can start to expect some little teases here and there about what to expect of the event soon - whether they're hidden in in-game Easter Eggs or hinted at via social media posts, Epic loves leaving a trail of breadcrumbs for fans to follow.

Ninja was initially asked about Fortnite's Cube, but it was clear that the streamer was reticent to answer any questions about the mysterious, Season 6 tease.

It's unclear whether we're going to see the return of last year's Halloween cosmetics, or whether we're likely to see a whole new set of items, too... in fairness, it's likely to be both. Epic isn't exactly known for short-changing its fans.

This comes as official Fortnite assets could have hinted at what's inside the Cube.

As of the 5.40 update, new sound files have been added to the game which suggests that lava flows will be coming to the map - something that isn't currently included in the game.

New assets have also been added that suggest 'evil' versions of existing charters will be added. New art suggests a 'dark' version of Brite Bomber exists within the Cube.
